Peter Gabriel MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Peter Gabriel? Peter Gabriel is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sx/so - 495 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
He's said that he felt suffocated by the long term planning of Genesis before he departed. He has said he's much better at starting than finishing. So, P is more likely than J. He's said that he was painfully shy off-stage and only developed a visual performance style to keep the audience from getting bored. So, I is more likely than E. His plans are often more abstract and conceptual than practical. The Slipperman costume is a classic example. It communicates a metaphor, but the microphone can't quite reach his mouth. WOMAD is another example. So, N is more likely than S. The T vs F is hard to tell. He often talks about wanting to communicate something "real" that "touches people," which is a very NF thing to say. As opposed to Tony Banks (who is likely an NT) who tends to talk about the cleverness (for lack of a better word) of the music such as chords, key changes, musical techniques, etc. So, I vote INFP.
